Since ourlaft, we have accounts from
urope to the 7th July.—ln this paner we
ave given the paragraphs that appeared to
'J» the moil inrerefting. A great deal of
important projefls seems to be before the
contending powers of Europe, and from the
complexion of affairs, are likely to be soon
developed. From circumstances, it would
appear chat oar afFiirs with Great Britain
are not to be so fpeedilv brought loan atni.
c&oie conclusion, as had been lardy expefted*
Miranda, aided by the British, has made
good his landing in South America, but un
fortunately, a number of his aflbeiates who
lell into the hands of the Spaniards, have
been put to death.
During the summer, we have indulged
our readers in town, with the paper on Fri
day evenings, but now that the dies arc.
growing short, we (hall not have it in.our

YOUR favor for me left in the care of

had it in contemplation on the way, to get
Mr. Franklin the surveyor appointed by your

line; and being informed of his death, I r ent
Captain Fielder for Mr. M'Agrin the coun

fore 1 had the opportunity of meeting with
Mr. Wailes; as this gentleman had been
waiting tor some time to expedation of run

[The Readers of the Augusta Chronicle
have not yet seen the following paper,
lately publilhed in the Richmond E qd
rcr, in a communication under the signa
ture of Decius—fuppefed John Rand rlph
—it is interelting, and as such we give it
publicity.]
On the 6th December, the following
fidcntul meflage was received from the Prc
fident ;
<« The depredations which had been com
mitted on the commerce of the U dted States
during a preceding war, by persons under
the authority of Spain, are fuffioiendy known
to all. These made it a duty to require
Iron lint government indemnification for
our injured citizens. A convention was
accordingly' entered into between the mioi
fterof the United States at Muirid, and
the minister of that government for foreign
affairs, by which it was agreed, that fpolia
lions committed by Spanilh fubjefts, and
carried into ports of Spain, (hould be paid
for by that nation, and that those commit
; ted bv French fubjefls, and carried into
I Spinidi ports, ihoald remain for further dis
! cuffrm. Before this convention was re
turned to Spain with our ratification, the
tran fer of Louisiana by France to tne Uni
ted States, took place ; an event as unex
pe‘fed as difagrceable to Spain. From that
moment fire Teemed to change her condu t
and disposition towards us. It w i lS .
manifefied by her protest agamft the nght of
France to alienate Louisiana to us, which
however was soon retracted and the rig t
confirmed. Then high offence was mamfef
ted at the aft of Congress est abiding a col
lection diftrift on the Mobile, although, by
2 n authentic declaration immediately made,
it wus expressly confined to our acknowl
edged limits—anT(he now refuted tt ratify |
the convention signed by her own tr.inifter
tinder the eye of his sovereign, unless we
would confcnt to alterations of its terms,
which would hav-e affected «ur claims against
her, for foliations by French fubjctls car*
tied into Spanish ports.
“ To obtain jutHce, as well as to restore
frienjffiip, I thought alpecial mission ad
visable, and according!/ appointed James
Monroe minister extramdinary and plenipci
tenri try to repair to Madrid, and, in con
junction with our miniffer resident there, to
endeavor to procure a ratification of the for
mer convention, and to come to an under
ftandiqg with Spain as to the boundaries of
Louisiana. It appeared at once, that her
policy was to refeive hcrfelfforeyents, and,
in the mean time, to keep our differences in
an undetermined, state, This will be evi
dent from the papers now communicated to
you. After nearly five months of fruitiefs
endeavor to bring them to fornc definite and
' fatisfadory rcfult, our ministers ended the
conferences; without having been able to
obtain indemnity for foliations of any de
/cripi;on, or any fatisfadion as to the bounda
ries of Louisiana, other than a declaration
that we had no rights Eaffward the Iberville,
and that our line to the Well was one,
which would have left us but a firing as land
on that bank of the river Miflillippi. Our
injured citizens were thus left wiihsut any
prsjfpeft of retribution from the Wrong-doer,
and as ta boundary, each party was to take
its own courfc. That which they have
chef a to pursue, will appear from the detfi
raemsnow communicated.— They duthorife
the inference that it is their intention to ad
vance on our poffcjjhns, ulftil they Jhull be
repiejftd by att oppofiu* force, Considering
that Ctngrefs alyn'e is conjiitutionuliy inves
ted with thepnfuer r/ nuy cootd.it- —
fra n peace tv iuar. I have thought It my
duty to await their authority, for ufiog fence
in any degree which could he avoided. I
have hardy intruded the mincers Rationed
in the »«ighhourlnod of the aggrellions, to
proteftour citizens from violence, to pat
rolc within the borders usually delivered to
us, and not to go out, of them, but when
n;ce(T.iry to reptl ah inread, dr to refeue a
ticizrn or his property f and the Spanish
remaining at New. Orleans are required to
depart without further delay. It ought to
he nated here, that fincc the late change
in the (late of affairs in Europe, Spain has
ordered her cruizcrt and courts to reipett
our treaty with her.
,r fhecondnft of France, and the part
flic may take in the rnifundei(landings, be
tween the United Stales and Spain, arc too
important to be unconsidered, She was
prompt apd dcci-i id in her declarations, that
our demands on Spain for French spoliations,
etinied into Spanish ports; were included in
the fctlcment lie tween the United States
and France. She took at once the ground
that fhc had no right from Spain, and had
meant to detver us none eaffward of the
Iberville: her fitsnCe as to the weftern
boundaty leaving us to infer her opinion
might he againtt Spain in that q i-mer.
- Whatever direction file might mean to give
to thefi* differences, it does not appear that
(he lias contemplated their proceeding to
actual rupture, or that at the date of our
last advicCs from Paris, her government had
any suspicion of the hoflile attimde Spain
had taken here. On the contrary we have
reason to believe that file (France) was dis
posed to efifrCt a fettlerncnc on a plui| analo
gous to what oufr miniflets had propoftd,
and f s comprchenftve as to remove as fir as
pofiible the grounds of luturc collision and
controversy on the Eaftetnas well as Wcf
tern fide of the Miflifappi,
** The prefeiit criffs in Europe is favara
ble fur pressing such a fettlemcnr, and not
a moment should be loft in availing ourselves
of it. Should it pals unimproved, our fitua.
tion would become much more difficult.
Formal war is not neccffary, it is not pro.
bahie that it will follow ; but the protection
of our citizens, the spirit and honour of oUr
country require that force Jhould be interpo
sed in a certain degree. If will probably
contribute ta advance the objcfl of peace.
“ But the caurfe to be pursued will require
the command of means which it belongs to
Congress exclusively to yield or deny. To
them I communicate every fact material for
th. ir information, and the documents neef
fary to enable them to judge for thcmfelves.
To their nufiom then I look for the course I
am to pursue, and will pursue with Jincere
zeal that which they shall approved *
